Deliver Us From Evil | Matt Wakefield | MC Austin

Temptation is not sin—it is the invitation to step away from obedience and loyalty to God. In this message, we uncover five seasons when we are especially vulnerable to temptation: exhaustion, isolation, after victory, during Kingdom advancement, and when we become self-reliant. Through the examples of Esau, David, Elijah, Nehemiah, Peter, and ultimately Jesus, we learn that victory over evil is not found in greater willpower, but in deeper dependence on the Holy Spirit. Jesus’ instruction is clear: “Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation.” Discover how prayer strengthens willing spirits, how Scripture exposes the enemy’s lies, and why yesterday’s encounter cannot sustain today’s battle. You do not have to live defeated by temptation. Stay spiritually awake, press for fresh oil, and learn to walk in victory over evil.
